Equifax has agreed to create a $100 million settlement fund over allegations that a coding error caused it to send inaccurate credit scores to lenders in 2022. Roughly 4 million people could be covered by the settlement.
Claims aren't open yet. The proposed settlement still needs final court approval, with a hearing scheduled for January 22, 2027. If approved, eligible consumers will receive information about how to submit a claim for payment.
